Harry Grant has spoken candidly about the pain of surrendering the State of Origin shield to New South Wales, reflecting on Queensland's defeat in the series.
The Queensland hooker acknowledged that NSW made the Maroons pay for their shortcomings, with the Blues ultimately claiming the Origin title from the reigning holders.
Grant's comments underline the significance of the loss for a Queensland side that had held the shield coming into the series. Losing game three — and with it the series — represents a bitter blow for the Maroons camp, and Grant made clear the group would be carrying that disappointment as motivation going forward.
